It's A Little Too Late...

Now I keep advising everyone to walk no run away from thier toxic relationships but what if you are married?

Ok, so I know a friend of a friend ...
Here's the story.
Couple meets at a bar in Houston, TX. John and Michelle
Both are college seniors, very attractive people, both NOT looking for a realtionship.
(It's funny that when YOU ARE NOT looking for someone is usually when you find them)
The chemistry was undeniable, the conversations were intense, they both fell hard fast! They waited to have sex for like three months..... that is a long time by anyone's standards.
So they have sex... and now they BOTH have full blown RabiesLove.
John and Michelle were crazy about each other! They date a year graduate college and get married.
Happily Ever After... NO... It's RabiesLove there is no "Happily Ever After"
John and Michelle have a typically normal life for about eight years. Suddenly life becomes to much for Michelle she is drinking, snorting coke, sleeping with random people.
Michelle stills has RabiesLove for John... she still wants to be with him... but not she is an ADDICT. Michelle did not want to be an addict... who does? Charlie Sheen? Just kidding! Michelle got bored with John.. RabiesLove is a form of addiction - you are addicted to the person.. or rather the "feeling" or "high" that you feel when you are around this person of interest.
Like most addictions though you will hit your peak high and not feel "high" anymore.
Michelle just found another avenue to feel "high".

What about John? This is a good guy - the one that girls want to bring home with them! John should walk away... he has tried several times in the last four years!
John loves Michelle and even though she has aputated his pride he keeps holding on the girl that he met in a bar in Houston.

It's a little too late for John... he will keep trying to get Michelle clean and sober.
It's a little too late for Michelle.... she was never told that she had an addictive personality and bipolar.
This story is not over because they are STILL together.. even thugh everyone that knows them sees the damage staying in this now toxic realtionship is doing to both of them.
It's a little too late for "happily ever after".
What would you do? Would you stand by that person? Would you leave?
I hope that none of you ever have to find out!
